Drunk Driving Final Draft

Even though everyone knows that drunk driving is not safe, it has been one of the top causes of young death over many years. The mistake of driving, while having alcohol in the system, has been increasing over the last two years. Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and nonfatally injure someone every two minutes. The last twenty years, the percentage of young drunk drivers has decreased by 16 percent, but has gotten stuck the last couple of years.
Like every human being, everyone wants to have fun once in a while and there are many ways to do it. You can have fun by doing the following: sharing time with relatives, practicing sports, and going out with friends and having drink. These are just a few examples of what people do for fun, but the last one can end really badly when the choice of drinking and driving is chosen. It is proven that alcohol makes the body act abnormally, work slowly, and that too much alcohol is not good for anyone. The irresponsibility comes when the decision to drive, after knowing that the alcohol consumption was big, is made. They have to know that their lives are not the only ones at risk; there are many drivers that could get kill because of their stupid decision to drive while they are drunk. Everyone knows that the body doesn’t work at 100 percent with alcohol in the blood and that is just a wrong thing to do. It is a bigger issue in the U.S., probably, because adolescents with 16 years old are allowed to drive cars, so the risk is bigger when young people are involved. There are so many solutions for this problem, such as taking away the driver’s license to let society know about the consequences of drunk drivers.
In conclusion, drunk drivers should be penalized because it is very irresponsible to drive with alcohol in your blood, risking other peoples’ lives, and knowing that it is dangerous to do it. Doing presentations around schools about the consequences of driving with alcohol is a good way to start cutting back this issue. It is easier to explain to them what could happen if they do it, rather than just say don’t do it.
